On 9 October, Dutch authorities and armed colonists began mass violence against Chinese residents of Batavia. The killings followed an escalating crisis shaped by VOC labor controls, deportation threats, and colonial anxieties. Chinese residents were part of the cityโ€™s social and commercial life; they were not a foreign threat to be collectively punished.
